Vibha Chopra, Head-Global Syndication and International Film Distribution, ZEE Entertainment, said in a statement: “Kesari is a rare gem that transcends boundaries. It’s a tale which will resonate with audiences across the globe and its successful run at the global box office proves that.
“Japan is not a traditional or a mainstream market like the US, UK or the Middle East and we are excited to see how the diaspora reacts to an acclaimed title like Kesari which was loved globally.”
